The 2023 Junior Future Gamers has seemingly fallen right into a varsity line up at Locust Grove. The maturity and confidence stands out, and really made an impact this weekend at the plate. He has added a slight leg lift since we last saw him at Preseason All-State and seems to have really helped his timing against varsity arms. The frame continues to develop, and we could see him be a real power threat in the years to come. He battled to a 3-2 count, and drove a ball the other way, showing the ability to adjust and drive the pitch where it’s thrown. Collier will continue to climb the ranks in the ‘27 class, especially after a year full of varsity experience this season.

5-foot-10, 168 pounds. Collier had an impressive day at the plate yesterday for Georgia’s Junior Future Games team and followed it up with a competitive outing on the mound today. Collier came in for a relief appearance and was able to catch hitters off balance. He showed a nice combo of FB and CB getting hitters to whiff. Collier displays a ¾ arm slot and can command the zone well. He will be a fun LHP to watch as he continues to develop.
